delish & nutrish recipes
but first, a little chef chat
If you’re considering increasing your nutrition through food, reducing inflammation, or just a healthy, delish and nutrish recipe or two, you’ve come to the right place! Most of these recipes can be made in about 30 minutes, faster than it takes for delivery to show up, and less expensive!
“Don’t remember ingredients, remember techniques.” Is something a chef I worked for used to say. So be sure to carefully follow the Methods for each recipe. Anyone can read a list of ingredients. Assembling them properly is the key to great results!
If you want to substitute flavors, say you like basil better than oregano, or you’re out of thyme (pun intended), go for it!
Some of my favorite tools are a scale, portion scoops, and one or two sharp knives. Try these links for some of my favorite things.
I give you measurements for all of the recipes and occasionally drop in the weights for accuracy. (pounds or ounces).
Finally, please feel free to leave comments on each recipe you try, and be sure to share and tag me on social media! I answer each and every question, and I love your feedback!

Lazy Pastitsio (Makaronopita)
This lazy version of pastitsio, or makaranopita, is faster, fewer pans and less cooking time, so it works for weeknights, is just as delicious, and is enough for leftovers. Make it even simpler by eliminating the meat
Veggie Packed Zesty Chili
This “ordinary” looking chili is packed with veggies. Trust me, no one will ever know.
Biftekia - Feta Stuffed Turkey Burgers
“Biftekia” refers to Greek style beef hamburgers, typically stuffed with some type of cheese. I’ve changed up the protein in this recipe with turkey, and used vegan feta alternative, which melts beautifully and has a similar flavor profile to the real thing.
Pastitsio, Dairy and Grain Free
This updated version of Greek Pastitsio gives you all the traditional feels without the gluten or dairy. My family—and they’re picky—loves this version and says it tastes the same as the original. That makes my Greek mama heart do a little syrto (Greek dance!) As a bonus, I’ve included a few clean-up shortcuts.
Keftethes Greek Lamb and Beef Meatballs with Butternut Squash
These Keftethes, or Greek meatballs contain both lamb and beef, are flavored with onion, garlic, and Paleo Powder seasoning, which is the closest I’ve found to an organic, clean Greek all-in-one seasoning. The butternut squash and almond flour keep them Whole30 compatible and AIP.
Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs
This is next-level street food you can make at home, and with Whole30 ingredients, it feels a little indulgent. Great for parties and tailgating too.
“Cheese”burger Casserole
I love this recipe! It’s a crowd pleaser. Great for Super Bowl parties too! If you’re attending a gathering you can take this as your potluck dish contribution. No one knows it’s Paleo/Whole30 (sneaky!).
Bison Marinara Bowls
The chili topping is delicious on it’s own, but if you use the quick-cook method for the spaghetti squash, dinner is on the table in 30 minutes.
WonTonLess Meatballs
These are WonTon (less) because they taste just like the wonton filling, but they don't need wrapper to be delish and nutrish!
Coffee Steak Rub
Blend up these ingredients with your mortar and pestle and keep in a small jar for anytime you want a bold flavor on your grilled meats.
